What a Weekend!

Good afternoon all,

The restaurant has just about recovered from another bank holiday. We even got some nice weather!! After a steady week of preparation for a busy bank holiday period, Friday really got the weekend started.

On Friday lunch time Les Caveaux Tapas & Wine Bar hosted a 'Ladies Who Lunch'. The restaurant was full with ladies having a fun-filled (alcohol fueled) afternoon of food and then a trip to the cinema with friends.

 It was daunting yet, enjoyable to have the restaurant full of just ladies. It was great fun, and a lovely time was had by all the ticket holders. It was also interesting to see Head Chef Sean Creamer test himself with a completely new format of dining in terms of an 'a la carte' menu for the lunch time service. Judge for yourself on just how good the food looked!

Once the riff-raff had disappeared (only joking ladies!) Friday night saw the long awaited return of jazz quartet 'Us & Them'. They wowed an ever growing audience of diners, drinkers and general passers by with their toe tapping beats and wonderful jazz sound. As the crowd built so did the atmosphere, which by 11pm was second to none in Holmfirth with a steady flow of Spanish Sangria and pints of Mahou to keep the crowd well oiled! The talented young men (Us & Them) thrived on the feedback they were getting from a very receptive crowd as they performed encore after encore. "They (crowd) didn't want us to stop, they were awesome! We didn't want to stop playing for them...I'm knackered now though!" - Barney Lister, (percussionist) said once they had finally finished. To see pictures from the even visit our Facebook or see our online gallery.

Us & Them in full flow!

It was once again an example of the cellar bar being a hub for great music, great food and entertainment on a Friday night. It was fantastic to see so many people down there taking in the music and having a really great time. Long may this continue! This week sees Rob Jarvis, a local guitarist play some authentic Spanish music, fantastic while you dine! He will start around 9pm.

After a  stocking up process and mass restaurant clean up we were ready to do it all again on Saturday. It was a lovely day and the panoramic views out of the upstairs dining room made for a fabulous night of wining and dining. Wine and sangria was flowing and a steady flow of tapas meant a wonderfully enjoyable evening was had by all. 

Watch this space, next week I'm going to tell you about our latest special off which is far too good to ignore!

See you soon,

Jazz Night, Film Festival

Hi Guys & Gals,

Another week passes in which i think the entire British population are praying for an ounce of sunshine. Week nights and weekends seem to be complete wash outs! Regardless of the weather Les Caveaux Tapas & Wine Bar will not let their spirits be dampened (As owner and manager I can personally assure you of that!)

Us & Them - Jazz Quartet Playing This Friday 9pm

This Friday sees local jazz quartet 'Us & Them' grace the Les Caveaux Cellar Bar. They play from 9pm (ish) and play some swinging jazz music! There are still some tables left for Friday night if you want to dine while they play but if you fancy just coming for a drink and soaking up the beats then come down for a drink! I cant wait to hear them again. They haven't played since before Christmas as they all disappear to university during term time. It will be great to see them back in the place they played their first gig together as a quartet!

This week sees the beginning of 'Holmfirth Film Festival'. This basically means a wide variety of films will be showcased across different venues in Holmfirth. On Friday 24th May 2013 we have teamed up with the Holmfirth Picturedrome in providing 'Ladies Who Lunch'. This is a special ticketed event that offers a meal at Les Caveaux Tapas & Wine Bar followed by a film being showcased at the Picturedrome. Tickets cost £14.50 and are available from Les Caveaux Tapas & Wine Bar and the Holmfirth Tourist Information Centre. There are some tickets left but they are diminishing very quickly, so if you are interested get in touch ASAP! (01484 689003)

This year's 'Ladies Who Lunch' film is the 'Silver Linings Playbook' starring Bradley Cooper. I can almost hear the girls screaming as I write!

 

Watch the trailer!

Well thats it for this week hopefully I will see you all during the coming weekend. And we shall all continue to pray for sunshine!

See you soon,
